UTILIZING ODD BITS OF LACE

Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved From Scrap* That Otherwise .... “““Would Be Thrown Away. I"Ziz A lovely, if somewhat costly, table cover recently seen in one of the shops suggested one of the numerous ingenious ways now in vogue of employing satisfactorily any scrap of lace or needlework one happens to have in the house. This table cover or tea cloth, about sixty inches square, in ecru linen, was cut out round the edges into four blunt corners, livlded by four vandykes. Between each peak was inserted, point upward, a threecornered specimen of filet lace, while larger ones, peak downward, were sewn along the base of the blunt corners. A, lace insertion framed the center, filled «t the corners with a motif of broderie anglaise, crossed with bars and connected with powderlngs of the open work. Each of the four sides of the frame was tipped with a diamond medallion jn filet lace, and round the outside edges of the linen square was a white linen fringe with spaced tassels.
